Ireland captain Dara O’Shea is a doubt for tomorrow’s Uefa Nations League game with Israel, as his partner is giving birth. The Irish squad have gathered in Backa Topola, Serbia, for the second fixture against Israel, but head coach Heimir Hallgrímsson confirmed their captain is not among the squad.
The FAI press officer ended Heimir Hallgrímsson’s prematch press conference early ahead of the Uefa Nations League meeting between the Republic of Ireland and Israel on Saturday morning, after what the Ireland manager later described as a “verbal attack” from Israeli reporters.
Ireland manager Heimir Hallgrímsson will speak to the media ahead of their match against Israel in Bačka Topola in Serbia at about 11.30pm Irish time. This is designated as a “home” game for Ireland, but has been moved here for security reasons. Last Saturday, it was a wild day for Irish football after goalkeeper Gavin Bazunu withdrew from the squad, not feeling comfortable to play. He won’t take part for this match either, the rest of the team is here apart from James Abankwah, who is suspended after a yellow card against Austria.
It started with an abject defeat in Kosovo before moving on to Hungary, where dark clouds gathered over the Republic of Ireland’s team hotel ahead of their 3-0 victory against Israel. There was a brief return to Dublin for Thursday’s home match against Austria and now it’s on to Serbia for another Nations League clash with Israel. Irish football has not known such a tense period since Saipan.

Israel and Kosovo played out a dull scoreless draw in Debrecen in the night's other Group B3 contest. The result means Kosovo go second in the group ahead of Ireland on goal difference with Israel still rooted to the bottom on one point.
DUBLIN, Oct 1 : Ireland drew 2-2 with Austria in the Nations League on Thursday in a game disrupted after tennis balls were thrown onto the pitch at the Aviva Stadium by those protesting against the Irish team fulfilling their fixtures against Israel.
